The only / first Leinster badge was sealed on 13-02-1897 as Pattern 4492.
BM PoW plumes, with straight straight scrolls.
Yes, in 1916 the WO ordered 10,000 Leinster 'all GM' badges (and we have no reason to deny that they WERE produced). I would have thought that there would be quite a few dies used....
I have about 50 4362A/1896 Pattern OR KLR cap badges; there are 18 dies - all of which I am certain that they are genuine.
I can spot a KLR "copy" a mile off but I have to admit, I know very little about Leinsters!
